Specification of Letters Patent.

1 Application filed October 26, 1905. Serial No. 284,435.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, PETER P. COLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illi- 1101s, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Recording-Tool, of which the following is a description.

My invention relates to that class of devices used to indicate certain information, to cancel or make a record on a paper, card, ticket or the like, and has for its object the production of a simple, cheap and convenient tool for the purpose set forth.

To this end my invention consists of the novel arrangement, construction and combination of parts herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters indicate like or similar parts; Figure l is a side elevation and partial section of a form of my device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fi 3 is a side elevation of a modified form. I ig. 4 is a side elevation and partial section of the modified form. Fig. 5 is a side elevation and'partial section of a portion of my preferred form. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of the preferred form taken on line 66 of Fig. 5.

As shown in the drawings, 4 is a case having a removable half 22 and provided with a preferably cylindrical chamber] with a cham- 'er 1 arranged adjacent to it. A pencil carrying member2 slides in the chamber 1 of the case 4 and carries the lead or writing member 3, and is so arranged that when the member 2 is drawn in, the art 3 is protected by the casing. On the under part of the carrying member 2is an extension 6, which is held normally by resilient means in a posi tion Where the part 3 is protected, a spring 7 being shown in the drawin s. To keep the pencil out when desired, a atch 9 pivotally secured to member 2 and adapted to slide in the slot 15 (see Fig. 2), or equivalent means is preferably used. This latch 9 drops into the niche 15 and holds the member 3 and carrying member 2 out. The end of the pencil case opposite the pencil extends back to form one part of a recording punch as at 4. Cooperating with this part 4 is a lever 5 pivotally secured to part 4 as at 10, and provided with the o posing cooperating part 5 of the punch anfadapted to perforate a paper, card or the like when the same is in- ,the members 2 and 3 out.

' one half removable,

serted between them as at 20, and the parts 4 and 5 operated. The part or cover 22 which forms one half of the case and chamber 1 is held in place by any convenient means, screws through the holes 14 being the referred way. Figs. 3 and 4 show a sligiitly modified form of my device. In this form a chamber 21 is preferably positioned adjacent to chambers 1 and 1,, and a lever 17 pivotally secured therein at pin 16. A rod 18 is also provided and is adapted to operate the lever 17 whenthe rod is pushed in, cansing lever 17 to turn about in 16 and push hen 18 is pulled out the carrying member 2 is resiliently re turned to its normal position and the part3 drawn in. As shown in eraser 10 and pencil lead case 13 maybe positioned as shown, making a handy and convenient combination tool for use where it may be desired to use such a combination. The form shown in Fig; 5 is similar to that shown in Figs. 3 and 4, but has in addition the slot 15 and niche 15 in the cover 22, and the pivoted latch 9.

In Fig. 6 is shown a cross-section on lines 6-6 of Fig. 5. It is obvious the cross-sections of the other views would be somewhat similar, that is, there would be casing 4 with member 2 and resilient means 7, and then the modifications shown in the longitudinal views of the various forms.

The part or extension 19 is adapted to be used in hanging the tool on the fingers of a person when carrying the same.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a device of the kind described, a pencil case provided with a longitudinally movable carrying member and a pencil, said carrying member adjustably positioned within said case, said case having a chamber ar- With resilient means arranged in said chamber and tending to normally hold the encil within said case, and a latch pivotal y secured to said movable carrying member adaptedto operate the same and hold it in operative position.

2. In a device of the kind described, a pencil case provided with a longitudinally movable pencil adjustably positioned therein, in combination with resilient means tending to normally hold the pencil within said case,

Figs. 3 and 4 an ranged adjacent thereto, in combination and apivoted latch and sliding rod adapted to move the pencil and keep it in operative cil case provided with a longitudinally movposition;

3. In a device of the kind described, a pencil case provided with a longitudinally mov-- able carrying member 2 and pencil, said carrying member being adjustably positioned within said case, said case having a chamber in proximity thereto, in combination with resilient means arranged in said chamber and adapted to normally hold the pencil within the case, a pivoted lever 17 adapted to engage said carrying member, and a member 18 adapted to operate the lever 17 and carrying member 2.

4. A pencil case provided with a longitudinally movable pencil, said pencil being adjustably ositioned within said pencil case, a cham er arranged adjacent to the case, in combination with resilient means tending to normally hold the pencil within the case and means arranged in said chamber for controlling the movements of the pencil.

5. In a device of the kind described, a pen I able carrying member and pencil, said carrying member being adjustably positioned within said case, said pencil case provided with a chamber arranged adjacent thereto, in combination with resilient means arranged within said chamber adapted to engage the movable carrying member and normally retain the pencil within said ease, means for operating said movable carrying member a scribing witnesses.
